As we approach The Crafty Chapina’s 5th anniversary, I felt like it was the perfect time to reintroduce myself. šŸ¤

Hi! I’m Karen — wife, mom of two, full-time employee, and the one-woman show behind TCC.

Almost five years ago, I started this little business with a love for creating, never imagining how much it would grow — or how much I would grow along with it.

And when I say one-woman business, I mean it! From messages, quotes and mockups to designing, creating, packaging, shipping, bookkeeping and content — it’s all me, while also balancing my 8–4, family and everyday life.

I’m incredibly grateful for every new customer who takes a chance on my work, every returning customer who comes back for another celebration, and my loyal customers who continue trusting me with milestone after milestone.

I’m also so thankful for the crafting community this business has brought into my life. I’ve met so many talented and wonderful people along the way — some of whom have become genuine friendships I never expected when I started TCC.

Almost five years later, my work has evolved, my skills have improved, and I’m still learning and growing every day.

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you just found me — thank you for supporting me, my creativity, and this little business of mine.

Here’s to 5 years of TCC and everything still to come. ✨

P.S. If you made it this far… you deserve a little something! 🤭 Enjoy 5% OFF any purchase made before 10/21/26. Just mention this post when placing your order.

Love, Karen šŸ’•

Almost 5 years of learning, practicing, improving… and still learning. šŸ„¹šŸ’•

Looking back at one of my very first cake toppers is such a reminder of how far I’ve come.

When I started, I truly had NO idea what I was doing. šŸ˜… I didn’t know the correct techniques, which materials worked best, or all the little details that make a topper look clean and professionally finished.

I even used to print everything directly on cardstock because I genuinely thought that was how it was supposed to be done.

So I started watching videos, researching, trying different materials, making mistakes, and figuring out what worked for me. Little by little, every order taught me something new.

And now, almost 5 years later, I’m STILL learning. I’m still finding ways to improve my techniques and make my work better.

But when I put my work from then next to my work today… wow.

Sometimes you’re so focused on getting better that you forget to look back and see just how much you’ve already grown.

From ā€œI think this is how you make a cake topperā€ to being genuinely proud of the quality and details I put into every piece today.

Practice. Patience. Lots of trial and error. And almost 5 years of refusing to stop learning.

We’ve come a long way, TCC. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

✨ A golden birthday deserves a golden cake topper! ✨

Turning 30 on 8/30 called for something extra special — a custom PokĆ©mon topper featuring some of Andres’ childhood favorite characters. āš”ļø

And because the details are what make it… this one is a shaker topper filled with sparkle AND lights up! āœØšŸ’”

A little childhood nostalgia + a big milestone + lots of handmade details = the perfect topper for his golden 30th. šŸ’›

Happy Golden Birthday, Andres! 30 on 8/30!

Imagine hating me and I’m just over here excited because I finally perfected my light-up cake toppers… AND the back looks just as clean as the front ✨

No crazy-looking backside, just a clean, polished finish all around.

Maybe the sweetest parts of life are the ones we miss when we’re too busy worrying. ✨
